 The text of the Declaration is as follows:

 We, the participants at the Magna Carta Conference, in Los Angeles, CA, do declare THAT:

1.          We celebrate the legacy of the Magna Carta as one of the foundational documents of the rule of law in the Western World. 

2.          We believe that individual rights and the guarantees of the rule of law remain crucial to a healthy and flourishing society, and ought to be regarded as the birthright of all human beings. We fear that these principles are being poorly taught or not given appropriate emphasis in our schools today.

3.          We encourage the world to learn from the Magna Carta and its legacy, and to embrace the protections of life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness promised by the rule of law.

4.          We believe the legacy of Magna Carta is a central element of the prosperity and happiness of English-speaking peoples and should be emphasized in high schools and college curricula. Without these principles, freedom will not survive.
